外刊阅读语法填空：From Scientific AmericanThis Thanksgiving, as you savor your turkey and stuffing, here's something else to give thanks for: the army
of microbes( 微 生 物 ) that help you digest the feast. 1_____________ when you eat, you're feeding them
too—and triggering an enormous bloom of gut bacteria.
In fact, as many as a billion new E.coli bacteria may come into being during one of those feeding
frenzies( 疯 狂 ). But twenty minutes after that population 2____________(explode) begins, the bacteria reach
critical mass, and put on the brakes. And when they enter that 'resting state,' they start pumping out a particular
suite of proteins. 3________________(researcher) harvested those postprandial(餐后的) proteins from E.coli
and added them 4_________ the colons(结肠) of rats. And the proteins appeared 5_____________(interact) with
endocrine(内分泌) cells in the gut, flipping on the production of hormones that tell the brain "Hey, stop eating.
We're full."
Meanwhile, mice 6___________(inject) with the E.coli proteins over the course of a week ate less at each
meal, all of 7____________ suggests that the proteins put out by bacteria can influence—and even interfere
with—our sense of feeling stuffed.
As far as overeating goes—the researchers say we 8_____________(probable) won't inject people with
bacterial appetite suppressants anytime soon. But it might be worth 9____________(pay) closer attention to the
health and composition of our gut bacteria, since they 10________ appear to play a role in regulating our urge to
eat.
So as you're stuffing yourself with stuffing on Thursday, you might ask yourself: what would my gut
bacteria want?
